Some of our clients

John Laverick – Director

John founded Amrose in early 2024, building on more than 20 years of experience in the construction engineering industry across both contractor and consultancy roles.

Throughout his career, he has developed a reputation as a highly respected and trusted industry professional, known for his technical excellence, practical insight, and leadership across complex and challenging projects.

A Chartered Engineer with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers, John brings a uniquely integrated approach to engineering—combining deep mechanical expertise with structural insight. His experience spans all sectors of the construction industry, from major infrastructure and transport to energy and industrial decommissioning.

John’s leadership at Amrose reflects his commitment to quality, reliability, and innovation in engineering delivery.

John says: “The two things I love most about running Amrose are, firstly, leading our team of fantastically capable and committed engineers to deliver engineering solutions to our clients with a level of quality that not only exceeds expectations but is also reliably delivered on time.

Secondly, I personally enjoy developing solutions that are not only innovative but also practical—especially in complex industrial settings where mechanical and heavy structural engineering meet.

A personal favourite project was the bottom-up demolition of a 6,000-tonne reinforced frame at Ferrybridge C Power Station, located on an elevated piled raft in the middle of the River Aire. It was the perfect example of complex interface engineering, and exactly the kind of challenge I enjoy.”
